Your Presence

Sudden demise of your partner and when you come back to your empty home.

I climb up the stairs to reach our home,

You silently look from the window I know.

As I enter it, with a heavy heart.

I really do not know from where do I start.

 

In the living room, I sit on our sofa.

I stare at the wall hanging.

It has a Sweet home with tiny birds chirping!

With flowers yellow, red and rose.

But where has the hustle gone from my house.

In my own house I feel so lonely.

Why do I feel so empty?

All things are in place.

But still why isn’t there solace.

 

I enter the kitchen to find it so tidy.

How can it not look so!

As you have carved it my lovely lady.

 

I enter our God’s room.

Can still find the dried flower you had placed.

As I look at the God’s photo,

I still have the same question.

Why is my home so empty and dull?

 

I open our terrace door.

I sit on the dusty swing and mourn.

In the busy park beneath with so many people.

I search for you and my giggle.

 

Everything in the house is touched by you

Everything is felt by you.

Everything was alive when you where here.

To find you I move here, there and everywhere.

 

My legs feel weak to reach our room.

With all the strength I enter it soon.

I dared to open your cupboard.

All your clothes, I hug and cry.

Your fragrance still lingers.

The mirror still has your bindis stuck

Red, green and blue! I still curse my luck.

 

I sit on our bed which has a blue sheet.

As I look on the beach print on it.

I feel when will we ever meet.

 

With moist eyes I move to our balcony.

I can feel the plants agony.

They want to meet you,

Be fed and felt by you.

 

I move around everywhere in the house.

But nowhere I feel full.

Oh my dear wife you don’t know how lonely I feel.

Can this emptiness be ever HEALED???

Your absence will never be filled but your thoughts and love will ever make us feel Your Presence.

The absence of someone dear to our hearts is always unbearable. Your word beautifully showed that. Thanks!!

Thank for so much for dropping by.

Poem is so heart wrenching, I was lost in it completely and visiting every place in the house. You caught the attention from the very first line. Grief, forlorness, sorrow all too strong and powerful evokes each of these emotions in the reader. It took for a moment to come to reality again.
Great write!
